The Coal Kiln Canyons trail provided access for wood cutting for the Charcoal Kilns over 100 years ago. The trail starts out easy on doubletrack and progresses in difficulty and steepness to the advanced level as it climbs higher up Coal Kiln Canyon. There is a plethora of two track trails in the Charcoal Kilns area so routefinding to the main canyon trail is important. Enjoy the downhill on your way back out!
There are several other great intermediate/advanced trails in the Charcoal Kilns general area. Most start out easy and get more difficult as you progress up the canyons. Some of these other trails are Rocky Canyon, Bell Mountain Canyon, Mammouth Canyon and Meadow Canyon.
